After the first six days of the World Cup 2023, Pakistan captain Babar Azam bagged the top spot in the latest ICC ODI Batting Rankings. Gill, who missed India\u2019s game against Australia and is also unavailable for their clash with Afghanistan, missed out on the World No. 1 rank by just five points.<\/p>\n
Ishan Kishan opened with India captain Rohit Sharma against Australia at MA Chidambaram, Chennai last week in Gill\u2019s absence. India were reduced to 2 for 3 in a chase of 200 \u2013 Kishan, Rohit and Shreyas Iyer were dismissed for ducks. Team India recovered from their nightmare start to chase down the target with six wickets and 52 balls to spare, thanks to Virat Kohli and KL Rahul\u2019s 165-run partnership.<\/p>\n
